What I discovered (and the two other people in the room also heard
quite clearly) was that a filtered distribution block makes a
difference, but there did not appear to be any audible difference
between the Isotek block at £150 or the Masterplug block. Both have
RFI filtering and surge protection, the Isotek has a metal case, the
Masterplug is plastic. But none of us could hear a difference between
them.


What you discovered was that a particular amplifier sounded better to
three people under certain circumstances, no more, no less.


Not quite. It was 'discovered' that they had this opinion... However the
'test' as reported shows no signs of being reliable beyond that.

Slainte,
